JooJoo arrives, is unboxed, is really real!

Chris Davies, Apr 2nd 2010 Discuss [1]

Conspiracy theorists start your engines: either the JooJoo really is shipping, or Fusion Garage have crafted a special unit just for Engadget to unbox and are sitting, sniggering behind their hands at our ongoing gullibility. Mere days before the iPad is set to hit shelves, the contentious JooJoo has finally arrived and - going by the demo video which you can see after the cut - it even works, too. Read The Full Story

Fusion Garage’s JooJoo Still Out of Customer’s Hands

Evan Selleck, Mar 30th 2010 Discuss [0]

Did you pre-order the JooJoo? We're going to go on a limb and say: "We hope not." It doesn't look like Fusion Garage is having very good luck, and truth be told, it's probably not going to get any better for the company. After all, those who have pre-ordered the JooJoo, don't have them. And yes, we're talking about all 90 of them. What, that number seems low? We couldn't agree more. Read The Full Story

JooJoo preorders shipping: deliveries expected March 29th

Chris Davies, Mar 25th 2010 Discuss [0]

Chalk this one up under "things we didn't really expect to see happen", but according to Fusion Garage the JooJoo tablet is now shipping. Up for preorder since early December 2009, those people who risked their $499 should apparently receive their orders by Monday, March 29th. Read The Full Story

JooJoo on track to meet March 25th ship date?

Chris Davies, Mar 23rd 2010 Discuss [0]

From one shipping tablet to another, and to be fair this second beast is one we had our doubts would ever reach preorder customers. Fusion Garage's JooJoo site has been quietly updated, ditching the previous "preorder" terminology and instead taking proper orders for the tablet formerly known as the CrunchPad.

JooJoo tablet updates UI, fully-working Flash support

Paul Fang, Mar 10th 2010 Discuss [1]

Fusion Garage may have delayed shipping its tablet for another entire month due to issues with its capacitive touchscreen, but the company has apparently made very good use of the extra time. The JooJoo tablet has just been unveiled with a refreshed user interface, as well as fully-implemented Flash support that actually is "fully working". Oh, and apparently the tablet has also undergone a physical color change, from a basic black to a "champagne-like" hue. Read The Full Story

Joojoo shipping date to be delayed until March 25th

Paul Fang, Feb 27th 2010 Discuss [1]

We had high hopes for the coming availability of the JooJoo tablet when we heard that the Fusion Garage was planning on shipping out at the end of this month, but we’ve just been told that due to a “manufacturing issue” shipping will be unfortunately delayed until March 25th. PR note after the break. Read The Full Story

The iPad may have taken the media by storm, but the JooJoo, formerly known as the CrunchPad, is back, and hot on Apple’s heels. The JooJoo’s starting off full production, that’s right and maker Fusion Garage has announced that the product is set to start shipping this month. Read The Full Story

Fusion Garage on Arrington suit: “sad rants of a person championing a losing cause”

Chris Davies, Dec 18th 2009 Discuss [2]

The TechCrunch/Fusion Garage saga continues, and as predicted the lawsuit Michael Arrington brought against his former partners over the CrunchPad/JooJoo tablet is only the start of the mud-slinging. Fusion Garage have released a public rebuttal to Arrington's comments, suggesting that they do, in fact, own the IP involved, that they have already received $3m in funding with another round imminent, and that the TechCrunch founder's complaints are naught but "the sad rants of a person championing a losing cause".

Another week come and gone, time for a week in review so read along! It's been a busy week (as always) with some cool stories you may have missed.

TechCrunch file lawsuit over JooJoo

Chris Davies, Dec 11th 2009 Discuss [2]

As expected, Michael Arrington and TechCrunch have filed a federal lawsuit against Fusion Garage, over the hotly contested CrunchPad/JooJoo web-tablet project. The lawsuit - which you can see here - accuses Fusion Garage of "violation of the Lanham Act, breach of fiduciary duty, misappropriation of business ideas, fraud and deceit, and unfair competition" and cites not only correspondence between the two organizations but content from Fusion Garage's now-deleted blog. Arrington also runs through eight other points, including a passing spank to other blogs that "link to the [JooJoo] pre-sale site without disclosing [Fusion Garage's financial situation] to readers".

JooJoo gets hands-on video

Chris Davies, Dec 8th 2009 Discuss [1]

Fusion Garage's Chandra Rathakrishnan did say he wanted to show off the new JooJoo webslate (formerly known as the CrunchPad and already mired in controversy) to as many people as possible in their webcast yesterday, and it seems CNET were first in the queue. They're impressed by the hardware, certainly - the 1,366 x 768 12.1-inch capacitive touchscreen is described as "gorgeous", the form-factor "slim and pleasing to hold" - but they reckon the $499 price tag will end up strangling any chance of sales success.

Fusion Garage announce JooJoo (aka CrunchPad): $499 on sale Friday

Chris Davies, Dec 7th 2009 Discuss [8]

TechCrunch's erstwhile partners Fusion Garage are showing off what they say is their own hardware and software design, and rather than CrunchPad they're naming it JooJoo. JooJoo has a 12.1-inch capacitive touchscreen - the first of its type in the world, Chandra Rathakrishnan claims - and a web-centric OS. Read The Full Story
